Camaro Crucifixion, Take Three: The Chromaro Proves Chrome Is Forever
Camino LS6 replied to Blake Noble's topic in The Lounge
Interesting. Oh, and I still have my Chrome HW Mustang. They called it the "Boss Hoss Silver Special" and you had to send in proofs of purchase to get one... -
It's all third gen Camaro under the skin, powered by a V6 as I recall...
-
Doesn't quite qualify as news in that confused form. But I will say this, I have it on very good authority (an eyewitness) that the G8ST showcar was dressed as a GMC before it got the Pontiac nose. If it comes as a GMC... well, that's just a bad idea. We all know it's an El Camino, so GM might as well put the proper badge on it.
-
Thanks Roger! Great pics.
-
The Range Rovers we get here are just gussied-up junk - the real Land Rovers aren't sold here. Had to get that in there. I'll come back to the GMC discussion later.
-
Escalade replacement should be an AWD Zeta. Think Denali XT.
-
If anyone has a pic of the XT-2, please post it because I can't find mine.
-
Obviously, there's a good chance of it happening - but that's been true since the 2004 GTO showed up here.
-
Ha! No argument there, it took forever to go through all of that. But the idea occured to me with all of the recent buzz, so I just went for it.
-
I wouldn't shoot the messenger, the info on the tails is a nugget I didn't catch and I'm glad for it. However, Pontiac wanted their own version of the Camino from just about day one. So the story could be true. I really couldn't tell you.
-
Yeah, I'd dispute it in a heartbeat. The taillights are on the '66 GP "Camino" are stolen from a '71 Vega wagon. Speaking of Vega wagons... I'm surprised that I can't recall an El Vega conversion... IIRC, the story goes that the car was a nearly-completed prototype finished much later by a private owner. That might account for the tails, but I can't vouch for it.
-
Finally, these are the El Caminos created here at C&G as part of the Underground's Chevelle Project way back when.
-
One final batch on its way shortly.
-
Photoshops and sketches - all C&G originals. A couple of early chops for my project car: And a preliminary sketch from the Underground's aborted Operation Arrowhead:
-
Real-world phantoms and coachbuilt cars:
-
I can't seem to find the pics of the XT-2, which was a prototype created by GM and PPG based on a third gen Camaro that did pace car duties. So, it's on to the Phantoms.
-
Finishing-off the P&P cars is the stillborn G8ST (and its Holden/HSV brethren).
-
The '68 Pontiac Dealer-built, Lemans-based prototype.
-
This one is thought to be a GM prototype, but there is some dispute. I have more of it somewhere.
-
The '78-'80 Lemans-Based GM prototype:
-
Next up (after I run an errand), the Pontiac P&P cars.
-
P&P cars: First is the '94 EC SS prototype that nearly went to production. I have more of this car, one with its creator, Jon Moss.
-
Up next, prototyped and parked.
-
Other R&R cars:
-
Real and realized, prototyped and parked, phantomed and photoshopped, I love them all. These are (or were) mine: And my current project car: Next up, more real and realized.
